While crime is on the rise, President Joe Biden announced a crackdown on weapons without serial numbers and authorities say they're prioritizing federal prosecutions.New York City Mayor Eric Adams is raising the alarm over violent content in drill rap, a controversial and popular subgenre of hip-hop, and wants social media companies to restrict artists from sharing their music on those platforms.

It is unclear which videos Adams has viewed and his office did not provide more details when asked if he has any meetings set up with leaders of social media companies to discuss the topic.Fivio Foreign perfoms onstage during Power 105.1's Powerhouse 2021 at Prudential Center on November 21, 2021 in Newark, New Jersey.

He added, “I would luv to come 2gether & work on some type of common ground but it’s deff not the music that’s cause’n or contribute’n to the violence.” After Adams shared McKenley's story during a press conference last week, their deaths sparked a new debate about drill, which has generated controversy since it started in Chicago about a decade ago.TDott Woo attends the 2021 Thanksgiving Drive in New York, Nov. 23, 2021.

Oh come on. Get real. This isn't about 'systemic racism.' This is black on black murder. Ain't never guna solve problems by denial & copping out.

I was today years old when I learned what drill rap is! In case you didn’t know either - In street slang, 'drill' means to fight or retaliate, and 'can be used for anything from females getting dolled up to all out war in the streets.'

Thugs gonna thug. Drill rappers saying they trying to make NYC a better place as they insult others in their raps that get people killed. Lol Hate is art. Eh?
